Mavra: Parasha is in love with Vassili, but they are finding it difficult to meet. Her mother is struggling to find a replacement for the maid, Thecla, who has died. Then Parasha has a brainwave.

Kelly Robinson’s production was deftly choreographed and benefited from a marvellously chaotic set by Bridget Kimak which emphasised the cataclysmic effect that the loss of the previous servant had wrought on the household.
